Dear Skeen Family,

Though I haven't seen some of you for many years, I have fond memories of all of you growing up. Tonda and Perry, you were some of my first playmates. I had seen Alta, Brady, and Kim some over the years. I am sorry to hear of Brady's passing, but I know that he is with the Lord and in a much better place. Just know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this hard time for your family.
